Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life SYNOPSIS
Ayn Rand was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Defying the death warrant of the Soviet Union, she came to America as a temporary visitor in 1926 but remained for the rest of her life. Later, she would also defy the cultural and political views of contemporary America in such best-selling novels as THE FOUNTAINHEAD and ATLAS SHRUGGED. Her unique philosophy, Objectivism, challenged the cultural tradition of 2,500 years . . .

Product FAQ's
What type of cable do I need to connect my Amron communicator to my Outland video system?Amron communicators and Outland Technology's video systems have a RCA Phono Jack. To connect the two systems together, you will need an audio cable with RCA Plugs on each end.
Should I use a GFI when operating my radio off AC power?
When operating your Amron Diver Communicator on AC, it is critical to use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or isolation transformer for tender and diver safety. Surges and spikes are common on AC lines found on ships, generated locally, or at the end of long extension cable runs and can exceed 1kVolt. Such surges and spikes can cause the fuse to blow on the amplifier card assembly. The power supply is designed so that such a failure will be isolated and will not cause a safety issue to the tender or divers. It is strongly advised that your Amron Diver Communicator be operated on an AC circuit with a high quality surge arrester or an AC isolation transformer.
Can two batteries be charged at the same time if I run a splitter inline?
Yes, but it will take twice as long to charge the batteries.
How do I install a new microphone in my Amcom II or III Communicator?Please refer to the Panel Microphone Installation instructions located in the attachments tab.
Why does the speaker on my communicator sound muffled?The simplest way to fix this issue is to unplug the red banana plug from the red microphone 5-way binding post on the communicator and rotate it 180 degrees then reinstall it. This should fix your problem. For a more detailed explanation of what happened, please read below. The issue is not with the communicator, it is with the wiring of the umbilical. There is always the potential for wiring the speakers and microphone out of phase, similar to wiring the speakers on a car stereo system. There is an orientation to the banana jacks and they should be wired for proper phasing with the communicator. A banana plug does have an identified ground side marked on the plug. Amron always sets up their umbilicals so that the ground side is located on the left side so the user can consistently plug in their umbilical and avoid phasing issues. If a banana plug is plugged upside down or is wired out of phase, the sound quality will be significantly reduced. If the phasing is out and the orientation of both plugs are the same, then the banana plug wiring should be reversed on "only one plug" to avoid this issue again. It does not matter which plug you choose to reverse the wiring on.
How can I test for a blown fuse on my Amcom series communicator?
If the unit is plugged into a live outlet and turning on the switch does not cause the AC POWER LED to light up, then the fuse(s) are probably blown. Unplug the unit from the outlet, remove the fuses and check continuity with a multimeter. Replace any fuse that does not show continuity.

I purchased this cover to protect my car against sap that sprays from the pine trees near it where it is parked and also for the acorns that will be falling soon from the oak trees. It is a nice looking cover, very easy to put on and fits beautifully. However after using it after I washed my car it was still covered with a fine mist of sticky sap- it seems as if the fabric might be too pourous for this type of protection.As far as the protecting my car from acorn dings remains to be seen.

The latest and greatest on CNN iReport, brought to you by Team iReport.
This week, the U.S. Supreme Court took up the debate over the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act [ACA], the national health insurance coverage scheme dubbed "Obamacare" that was passed into law in 2010 by a slim margin, and only after much controversy and partisan debate. The nine Justices are debating different aspects of the law, and their verdict will ultimately decide whether or not one of Obama's signature legislative achievements will survive his presidency.
Both supporters and opponents of the law descended on Washington, D.C., this week to attend the various rallies taking place over the ACA. Conservative advocacy group Americans for Prosperity held a "Hands off My Healthcare" rally to drum up the Tea Party opposition; Obama supporters staged their own rally touting the benefits of the ACA in coverage of women's healthcare.
Naturally, iReporters were there as it all went down, and captured some great photographs and on-the-ground flavor of the dueling protests.
Conservative firebrands Rep. Michele Bachmann and Sen. Rand Paul were on-hand at the Americans for Prosperity rally across the street from the Senate yesterday. Photographer Michael Kandel said that their speechifying delivered plenty of the usual red meat and "Republican talking points about health care that we've all heard before." He also notes that Bachmann and Paul "made sure to mention that Obama was out of the country on the second anniversary of the ACA."
Armando Gallardo had a prime view of the dueling camps when they staged simultaneous protests on the steps of the Supreme Court yesterday. He estimates that around 150 people showed up in total, and that the pro-ACA protesters had a slight numerical edge over their conservative counterparts.
Despite the charged nature of the debate, Gallardo said there was plenty of good will to go around. "It really surprised me how respectful both camps were of each other, no one was nasty or called each other names, it was surprisingly positive," he said.
iReporter Felix Masi has a personal stake in the ongoing debate over health care in the U.S., which is why he showed up to document the protest at the Supreme Court yesterday: "We have a 13-year-old with sickle cell," he said. If the Supreme Court renders a verdict that strikes down the ACA, his child may no longer be covered by insurance.
"You come to Uncle Sam, who has over 40 million people without health insurance," he said. "That means if you have over 40 million people without medical cover, it's like a country without security. To me, strong security for a country is to make sure the people are not hopeless. People have a solid ground in that if they are sick, they're not just going to die on the streets."
While these protesters were out hitting the pavement, there was plenty more debate in the digital trenches of CNN's comments section, and right here on iReport.
Did you attend any of the pro- or anti-ACA protests this week? Or do you have an opinion on healthcare that you're burning to share with the world? Now's the time to get in on the debate.
If health-care law is illegal than auto insurance,social security,and taxes too!!You can't have it both ways
57sontonic - Really? Do you have to pay for auto insurance if you DONT have a car? No. SSI and Taxes are legal...but your Obama friend stated that this IS NOT a tax. I cant believe that people actually think its ok for the government to tell them to buy something. It amazes me. Itll be even better when people are violat their probation and parole because they dont have healthcare.
"57sontonic - Really? Do you have to pay for auto insurance if you DONT have a car?"
- No you don't have to. Your argument is flawed though because by your argument you don't have to pay for healthcare only if you are dead. If you are alive, you need to pay for it.
Freelancerzz, you are wrong!!! You are contradicting yourself, you have the health, so you should have health insurance, the same way when you have a car, you have a car insurance. Every human HAS health and sooner or later health issues, that is exactly why we need UNIVERSAL health insurance.
the analogy is pointless, its stupid. Universal healthcare will drive down health cost and reduce prescription drug inflation. due to natural population increase its inevitable to need a health care system that covers everyone. quit the arrogance over individual liberties and wake up and see what works, Our European buddies have been doing this for decades
they can protest all they want. we are way beyond protests. the court will decide and it will be based on the constitution.
based on the justices questions and responses the mandate will be struck down and without a Severability clause the rest will be at risk.
what about Drivers license, birth certificate's, and Social Security numbers too?
This bill is bad for everybody. If it passes you will have to eat what the Gov. tells you too,afterall they are financeing your healthcare, and you can forget about playing high risk sports, be cause the Gov. has to finance it if something happens to you. this is a slippery slope
If it is upheld that we can get universal health insurance by requiring everyone to buy health insurance, then Obama can move on to solving the Housing crisis by requiring everyone to buy a house. Unemployment will end when everyone is required to hire someone to work full time for them.
And let's not compare Obamacare to what the Europeans have. They took the big step and just socialized medicine. Huge difference between universal health insurance and socialized medicine. They eliminated all the profiteering in health care so it could be delivered more cost effectively.
Many legal citizens in our country DIE because they do not receive the medical care that they need, but it is against the law of our country to kill yourself. We need to first take care of our US citizens. I have known many legal citizens going back to their home country for their surgery. By the grace of GOD I have medical insurance but I get tired of having to appeal all the claims that my health care provider refuses to pay. The middle class should not have to bankrupt their family to seek health care. Most bankruptcies are cause by a serious illness and most of these families do have health insurance.
Medicare, Medicaid and VA insurance and native American Indians all have forms of universal health care. Everyone that I know that turns 65 are relieve that they no longer have to worry about health care if they get sick. Many people in our country would not be on disability if they could have sought medical care in the beginning of their illness. This also includes people with mental illness. Our country would be much better off if it citizens were healthy. One out of three people in our country will die from heart disease. This is not true of other countries that live a much healthier lifestyle.
Some books that you should read are "Deathly Spin" by Wendall Potter, "Healthcare for All: A Global Quest for better, cheaper and fairer Health Care" by T. R. Reid, "Money Driven Medicine" by Dr. Sherry Rogers and "The Truth About Getting sick in America" by Tim Johnson.
I'm sorry, but I must be missing something...
what healthcare?
I see that some privileged Americans are provided with quality healthcare and a growing number are blocked from it.
Tell me, America - is that justice?
And yet - here's a real shocker for you:
Not all of those blocked from quality healthcare are minorities.
Isn't that surprising?
All created by YOU.
Stumbeton, Thats just it, its not working in europe.
@GySgtG -- No, the Supreme Court decision will not be based on the Constitution. It will be based on politics, just like Bush v. Gore. The Supreme Court has lost all credibility as an impartial institution.
@Wiggs81 -- European universal health care was working fine while I lived there for 18 years. I thought it was terrific. So, do you have first-hand knowledge, or are you just quoting Rush Limbaugh?
@Stumbleton - "quit the arrogance over individual liberties and wake up and see what works, Our European buddies have been doing this for decades."
The sole purpose for our constitution's creation and existence was to preserve and insure individual rights and liberties. Most of the founding father were profound believers in the concept that the liberties of the individual supersede and outweighed the needs of the state as a whole.
If you want to throw out the concept of individual liberties then fine, we've been given a way to do that. But until you have the necessary two-thirds vote of congress and three-quarter's ratification by the states, we are still a nation whose federal government is restricted to those "expressly enumerate powers" granted by the constitution; and forcing an individual to buy a private product for the benefit of the American society is not one of them.
Yes Sev - It works fine until you run out of other peoples money (ala Greece, Italy, Spain and Ireland)....or need to ration it as they do in England. I have relatives in England who love, though they admit that they need to purchase additional private insurance in order to ensure that their needs are met in a timely and acceptable fashion!
It's strange that people are actually fighting so that other people will be denied health care. Once again so called Conservatives are on the wrong side of progress. The Affordable Health Care Act is a move in the right direction, everyone in America should have affordable health care.
Actually, I think most people are missing the nature of the discussion and therefore do not understand the opposing viewpoint. We are too controlled by our own bias.
The problem is in the way the law was written, which nearly everyone agrees is problematic. The conservatives are asking the question, "Can the government force you to buy something you don't want?" The progressives are insisting that since everyone is going to buy health insurance sometime, it ought to be regulated... that health insurance is different from other kinds of purchases.
So, the sides are talking past each other. But, it turns out that this is primarily a legal question. The progressives are missing this fact. The question that the supremes are supposed to be asking is about the constitution. Does the constitution set apart healthcare as a right? No, not explicitly. Is it true that every person is going to want medical coverage? No. This is a false premise. I know people who don't want it. So we're back to the question that the conservatives are asking.
You see, universal health coverage might be a good idea. But this bill might be determined by the Supremes to go at it in a way that is illegal.
The congress is allowed by the constitution to levy taxes. But, they are not (probably) allowed to force you to buy stuff you don't want. There are many postentially good things that congresss is not allowed by the constitution to do. They cannot force me to give to charity, even though it might be a good idea.
IF people are not told to buy the Insurance, then may will just wait until they get sick to buy one, due to the preexisting condition.
Also, republicans always complain about people going into the emergency cares and usually they dont have insurance and the tax payers are left with the bills. WELL, this will take care of that.
All of you who like to talk about Europe, think.
No dialysis if your over 60 (unless you pay).
Months or years before you get a needed procedure.
...and Europe is BROKE.
Canada is not broke.
Germany is not broke.
Switzerland is not broke.
England is not broke
and all those countries have universal healthcare.
BREAKING NEWS: Dogs goes nuts when soldier comes home.
Nice rag CNN has become.
You are all dreaming if you think the cost of healthcare will come down just because everyone has to have. Until some controls the insurance premiums nothing is going to change. Premiums will sky rocket and you will be forced to pay for them.
The consertives protesting the health care that they creataed. i can't see why the republicans are in such a tizzy about this. when Obama care as the republicans like to call it is their idea. it is what they planned. it is what they put forward. in fact it was the same as romney care. it was boted on and passed in the senate with the republicans supporting it. now they are playing politics with the lives of millions of people. wake up and vote democrat where we can get every one insured.
If I can be forced to pay for an uninsured, unhealthy person, then I should be able to force people to take care of themselves. When an uninsured person is treated, that cost is passed on to those of us who do pay. So, my insurance costs more because hospitals cost more because they have to recoup the lost revenue. Also, my tax dollars go to things I don't use like medicaid. So, if we get rid of the insurance mandate, then we must also allow hospitals and doctors to tell uninsured people with no cash to get lost. The mandate does take into account those who can not afford it (though it may need a tweak or two). But, being on the other side I say, "uninsured person, I don't know you and I don't particularly care if you die so quit costing me money by going to the hospital.". Oh, and if you can't afford insurance because it would mean you'd have to quit smoking, please do me a favor, save us all some money, and go jump off of a bridge; one high enough to do the job.
More @indepenent58, et.al.
Japan is not broke
Norway is not broke
Brazil is not broke
Chile is not broke
Australia is not broke
France is not broke
Finland is not broke
Sweden is not broke
Doesn't seem to me that ALL of Europe is broke. And, BTW, "Europe" does not have a continent wide universal health care system.
So given that only 2 countries(Italy and Greece) are actually broke, the smacks more of mismanagement than having anything to do with universal health care. Could be a California thing; give me free stuff and don't raise enough money to pay for it.

Here are your Puck Previews: Spotlighting the key games in NHL action, news and views as well as general frivolity. Make sure to stop back here for the nightly Three Stars when the games are finished.
• The Bruins made 550 Stanley Cup rings. Of course Blades would get one.
Preview: Edmonton Oilers at Toronto Maple Leafs, 7 p.m. ET. Two of the NHL's 3 Stars of the Week faceoff as James Reimer will try and slow down the offensive force that is Sam Gagner. Reimer has recorded two straight shutouts, while Gagner has tallied 11 points in two games for the Oilers. Assistant coach Ralph Krueger will work the Oilers' bench tonight after head coach Tom Renney took a puck to the head in practice and needed stitches.
Preview: Detroit Red Wings at Phoenix Coyotes, 8 p.m. ET. After winning the first three meetings of the season the Red Wings will go for the series sweep. Including last year's postseason, Detroit has won seven in a row against the Coyotes. Joey MacDonald gets his first start of the year for the Red Wings as Jimmy Howard will miss the next two weeks with a broken finger.
Preview: Calgary Flames at Anaheim Ducks, 10 p.m. ET. As they try to end a 13-game road losing streak against the Ducks, the Flames will also try to give goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff his 300th NHL win in the process. According to the AP, Anaheim hasn't lost a regular season game at Honda Center to Calgary since Jan. 19, 2004. For you record keepers, Teemu Selanne is a goal away from tying Brendan Shanahan for 12th all-time, to which the Finnish Flash told the Orange County Register, "Hopefully I don't have to deal with that department very often. But I've know Shanny for years. He's a good buddy."

• Add Ralph Nader, yes that Ralph Nader, to the anti-fighting group. He wrote an open letter to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, which included, "Your league has created a department of player safety. That's well and good. But a quick question: How can you continue to allow fighting, in which the primary target is the head of your opponent, and seriously make the argument that you're doing all you can to make player safety a priority?"

Puck Buddy Comment of the Day: From AJ on Ken Campbell claiming Sam Gagner's eight-point night should've actually been seven:
"Is Ken Campbell Canada's answer to Skip Bayless? He will say anything to get attention. He'll probably want video on all of Gretzky's points to figure out which ones are legit and ask for the records to be adjusted."
No, AJ. Skip Bayless cannot be replicated. Not in any lab anywhere in the world. He's truly a one of a kind.
Bold prediction: The Sam Gagner gravy train comes to a stop. Zero points for Dave's kid.

Medicine Lodge asks to join Heart of the Plains League.
Medicine Lodge could become the newest member of the Heart of the Plains League.
The Skyline Board of Education voted they would favor bringing Medicine Lodge into the league at their regular monthly Board meeting Monday night.
A final decision on admitting Medicine Lodge will be made at the HOPL league meeting on Jan. 9, said Skyline Superintendent Mike Sanders.
It will take a yes vote from seven of the 10 league schools to add another USD to the league. The HOPL members are Skyline, Attica, Burrton, Central Christian, Cunningham, Fairfield, Norwich, Pretty Prairie, South Barber and Stafford.
Medicine Lodge is facing a declining enrollment. The middle school football team is dropping to an eight-man format. Currently, Skyline has more students in the seventh and eighth grade then Medicine Lodge, Sanders said.
The district wants to remain competitive. With the growth of other schools in their district, Medicine Lodge approached HOPL about joining the league.
If Medicine Lodge joins HOPL it would make 11 teams in the league. That would mean the league might for another district to join to keep the league at an even number.
If HOPL approves the addition, it would take affect in the 2014-2015 school year, Sanders said.
If HOPL denies the addition, Medicine Lodge could petition the Kansas State High School Activities Association and KSHSSA could put them in HOPL anyway.
Adding Medicine Lodge would mean some very long driving distances so the league would probably be split in two with either a north-south or east-west format to cut down on long drives, said Skyline High School Principal Herb McPherson.
Wherever Medicine Lodge would fit in that format, they would have lots of support from their patrons.
"Medicine has a big fan following," McPherson said.
While the final vote on adding Medicine Lodge is unknown, the return of forensics to the Skyline curriculum is a sure thing.
Several students have expressed an interest in reviving the forensics program at Skyline after was dropped several years ago.
Eight students have indicated they want to revive the program and are willing to do what needs to be done to make the program work, Sanders said.
Marla Stark will be in charge of the program.
Joining Forensics as a new challenge for students is a band trip to Orlando, Fla. to Disney World. Band students in grades eight to juniors are already raising money for a trip in the 2013-2014 school year. Students are selling candy and will have other fund raising projects. Total estimated cost would be around $32,000

Kenny Heitz, 65, who played on three NCAA basketball championship teams at UCLA in the 1960s, died Monday at his home in Pacific Palisades after a battle with cancer, the school announced.
At a time when freshmen were not eligible to play varsity sports, he joined Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then Lew Alcindor), Lucius Allen and Lynn Shackelford on the 1965-66 freshman team that defeated the two-time defending national varsity champion in the first game played at Pauley Pavilion.
For the next three seasons, Heitz was a 6-foot-3 forward and guard for Coach John Wooden's varsity squad. The Bruins finished with an 88-2 record during Heitz's career and became the first school to win three consecutive titles, in 1967, '68 and '69.
A Santa Maria native, Heitz arrived at UCLA as a prep All-American center from Righetti High School in Santa Maria.
Heitz was an Academic All-American his senior year and graduated summa cum laude in 1969. Drafted by the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks, Heitz chose Harvard Law School instead and became an attorney in Los Angeles.

text: Senate Leaders Say They're Optimistic on U.S. Debt-Cap Accord October 14, 2013 09:45 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email (For more on the fiscal impasse, see EXT2.) Oct. 14 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. Senate Democratic and Republican leaders said they are optimistic about ending a partial government shutdown and preventing the nation from breaching the debt ceiling in three days. "I'm very optimistic that we will reach an agreement that's reasonable in nature this week," Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, said on the Senate floor today following talks with Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. McConnell said he shares Reid's optimism. The movement toward a deal in the Senate today marked the strongest signals yet that Congress may be able to increase U.S. borrowing authority before it lapses Oct. 17 and end the shutdown that started Oct. 1. Any proposal could face procedural delays in the Senate and an uncertain path in the Republican- controlled House, where Speaker John Boehner would have to decide whether to allow a vote or make changes. Reid, McConnell, Boehner and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi will meet with President Barack Obama at the White House at 3 p.m. If Congress does nothing, the federal government would start missing payments sometime between Oct. 22 and Oct. 31, according to the Congressional Budget Office. "It's not put together until it's put together," said Senator Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat. "But I am quite confident it will be put together before the debt limit is reached and before things start to go haywire." Stocks Advance U.S. stocks trimmed earlier declines amid signs of progress on an accord. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index advanced 0.3 percent to 1,708.35 at 2:25 p.m. in New York while the Stoxx Europe 600 Index reversed earlier declines and added 0.2 percent at the close. The U.S. cash bond market is closed for Columbus Day. Gold gained 0.9 percent and natural gas jumped to the highest level in almost four months. In the House, Republican leaders are weighing whether to bring up their plans for a short-term debt limit increase, said two aides who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss strategy. House Republicans will meet at 9 a.m. tomorrow to discuss the details of that proposal, which is expected to include policy conditions that Obama says he can't accept. Senate Plan A Reid-McConnell deal won't be reached until at least after the White House meeting this afternoon, said a Senate Democratic aide who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private talks. The leaders are debating the length of a stopgap spending bill and debt limit increase, the aide said. Democrats want a longer debt-limit increase and a shorter spending bill at Republican-preferred levels. Republicans want the reverse, the aide said. There is little if any discussion of major changes to the 2010 health care law. House Republicans' demands for those changes, such as a delay in the mandate for individuals to purchase health insurance, led to the shutdown 14 days ago. Obama has insisted that no policy conditions be attached to a spending bill or debt-limit increase. Republicans are still trying to include delay of an excise tax on medical devices and language requiring income verification for people receiving health-insurance subsidies, the aide said. Democrats want specific concessions if they agree to either of those items, the aide said. 'Bipartisan Way' "Things are back in the middle of the road on the Senate side," Senator Bob Corker, a Tennessee Republican, told reporters in Washington. "There's an opportunity today to bring that to a conclusion and to begin moving something off the Senate floor in a bipartisan way." The congressional deadlock over increasing the U.S. debt ceiling from $16.7 trillion is threatening the U.S. and world economies, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde said yesterday in Washington. "This week, if we don't start making some real progress both in the House and the Senate, and if Republicans aren't willing to set aside some of their partisan concerns in order to do what is right for the country, then we stand a good chance of defaulting," Obama said. The Senate negotiations include discussions of easing the spending caps imposed by across-the-board cuts known as sequestration. Richard Durbin of Illinois, the second-ranking Democrat in the Senate, said there is a $70 billion spending gap between Democrats and Republicans. Spending Levels Democrats don't want to lock in lower spending levels for most of the 2014 fiscal year, which began Oct. 1. They have been willing to accept the lower numbers through Nov. 15. Disagreement over spending is the big sticking point, said Jim Manley, a former aide to Reid. Manley, in a telephone interview, said he's watching "to see if Senator McConnell demands some sort of fig leaf from Senator Reid to protect the speaker or whether he's prepared to throw him overboard to get this all behind him." Representative Tim Huelskamp, a Kansas Republican, played down the importance of the deadline and said the White House "is trying to scare the markets." "Oct. 17 is a date that won't have a major impact unless the White House can create concern about that," Huelskamp said yesterday on CBS's "Face the Nation." A Senate deal probably would face the prospect of a hostile reception from House Republicans still seeking to curtail Obamacare and opposed to easing spending caps. Republican strategist Ron Bonjean yesterday described the latest efforts to find a way out of the impasse as "a Rubik's Cube from hell," adding that even if the Senate passes a plan, it would be "still pretty much a jump ball in the House." "They may simply reject it without offering a Plan B," Bonjean, a one-time aide to former Republican Speaker Dennis Hastert, said in a telephone interview. --With assistance from Sandrine Rastello, Cotten Timberlake, Lisa Lerer, Laura Litvan, Michael C.

My name is Irene Toro Martínez. I'm a rising junior at Pomona College in Claremont, California, and I'm double-majoring in Physics with a Concentration in Astronomy and German. I have been interested in astronomy since I was young girl and watched the movie "Contact", which opened my eyes to the possibility of studying space as a job (wow!). My mother encouraged me to attend star parties hosted by the Minnesota Astronomical Society (and drove me there!) and bought me books and, in eighth grade, a telescope! I attended the Summer Science Program, an intensive six-week astrophysics program complete with observational research, just after my junior year in high school, and entered college knowing that I wanted to major in physics. I am now halfway through my undergraduate years and still greatly enjoying "studying space". I spent this last summer working with a Pomona professor on quasar absorption line spectroscopy - observing gas and dust as absorption in the spectra of background quasars. This allows one to examine the abundance of different elements in collections of matter too faint and small to be otherwise detected. We discovered extremely low-metallicity Damped Lyman-Alpha systems (very big gas clouds), which is exciting because it allows scientists to more precisely model the early universe before it was enriched by heavy elements produced in the deaths of the very first stars. I hope to continue to do such research and pass on my knowledge to future students.

The next generation is upon us. What must Sony and Microsoft do to prevent the consoles from an early grave?
Next-gen consoles must avoid not offering a free Online MP. Go ahead and have a tiered system with premium paid subscribers, but don't place a cash barrier to basic game content like online MP.
I would like the new consoles to have a new rule which no longer allows developers to put DLC on disc and then charge you for it on the store later.
Constant Sequels & Prequels... I agree with this. I am bored of playing the same games I did at the start of this console cycle. I want some new ones now.
Actually, for the Wii U I want MORE motion control
I loved Red Steel 2, Zelda: SS, and Metroid Prime Trilogy-
I want the next Zelda to have the option for a Skyward Sword set-up.

Study: Dauphin County sportsplex could cost around $16M
After 13 months, a multi-use sports complex study supported by $70,000 in Dauphin County gaming grant funds has been completed.
Washington, D.C.-based Brailsford & Dunlavey, the firm hired by the nonprofit Mid State Alliance, projects the cost to develop a complex in Dauphin County at nearly $13 million in today's dollars, according to the final submitted report.
That cost excludes land acquisition and is based on 13 outdoor fields and a 7,560-square-foot clubhouse. Land deals are projected to add $2.4 million to $3.6 million to that total.
"B&D believes a sports complex anchored by a local nonprofit organization can cater to an underserved local recreation market and host approximately 40 weekend tournaments annually," the report said.
Area club sport officials have expressed a desire for a facility that could offer playing surfaces for practice and games year-round, as well as the option to stage major tournaments and championships to attract teams from all over the East Coast.
During the feasibility study phase, the firm met with parents, coaches, players, potential business partners and other stakeholders. B&D also conducted a market analysis of the area and studied national and regional facilities.
The report said the preferred location would be between the Interstate 81 and I-76 corridors — in the central part of Dauphin County just above I-81 or in the southwestern area between Harrisburg and Hershey. There are 600,000 residents within a 30-minute drive of those areas and nearly 31 million people within 150 miles, according to the study.
The firm concluded the county is deficient in rectangle and baseball diamonds, but there are several for-profit indoor facilities in the market.
At least 60 acres would be needed for the recommended eight rectangle fields — four with lighted and synthetic surfaces — and five baseball fields to satisfy weekend tournament play for baseball and softball teams. B&D also recommended 900 parking spaces, plus a family pavilion area and playground structure.
An indoor fieldhouse for competitive competition was not recommended in the report. That addition could add as much as $23.9 million more to the project in today's dollars, according to B&D.
The firm is projecting that a facility could be up and running by 2016 and that it would take about three years to get revenue in line with expenses. Primary revenue drivers include tournament income, concession sales, advertising and sponsorship agreements, membership fees and programming.
Tournaments could generate attendance of more than 100,000 people annually, according to the report.
"We have analyzed this and have been speculating for a long time," said Steve Mizak, president of the MSA. "Now we have a pretty good plan to implement. We're really looking forward to this."
The next step will be identifying members for a fundraising committee, he said. That could take four to six weeks.
The thought all along has been that this facility would be developed through public and private dollars.
The study laid out several operations models and recommended a public/nonprofit model, where MSA could operate the facility with county support with land acquisition, or some other form of startup cost, and enter into a long-term ground lease with the nonprofit.
Day-to-day operation of the sports complex could be managed by a professional management team that reports to the nonprofit's board of directors.
"We're done talking about it," Mizak said. "We now know it's a good idea."
This type of facility could mean huge dollar signs for the local economy.
However, he added there has been no commitment yet to execute on anything recommended in the plan. MSA will look to form its fundraising arm and see how things go before coming back to the county for further assistance, he said.
Lauren Bowers, a spokeswoman for the county commissioners, said the board will wait for more information before committing to anything.
"It's really in the early stages," she said.
The report identifies general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, state level tourism and redevelopment programs, hotel tax proceeds, local gaming share revenue, intergovernmental agreements, naming rights, private and foundation grants and private contributions are possible funding streams.

NEWTOWN — News that the U.S. Senate would not take up a ban on assault weapons hit Newtown residents hard Wednesday.
"I'm very disappointed — heartbroken, actually," said Newtown First Selectman Pat Llodra. "I get it, I understand how the politics work and how it's really all about numbers, but I can say in my heart and in my soul I want so much to honor and trust our government, but I feel shaken to the core again. If what happens here in Newtown doesn't convince people that we need to make some changes I don't know what else could happen."

Group studies 4 high-speed rail routes in Oregon
EUGENE — A council made up of mayors, legislators and state and local transit officials is considering four routes for high-speed travel in the Willamette Valley.
The routes would be hugely expensive to create, and the obstacles, including securing money, are so many that it's possible the new line might never be built. But the study is under way with the Oregon Passenger Rail Leadership Council set to choose one of the four by fall of 2014, according to the Register-Guard.
The council is airing four "corridor concepts" under consideration for the future route of passenger rail in the valley. The proposed routes for a new line are:
— The I-5 right of way.
— A westerly route made of pieced-together short haul lines that include a stop at Corvallis.
— The old, unused Oregon Electric Railway right of way that runs through the valley, merging with the existing Union Pacific line near Canby.
— The existing Union Pacific lines that carry Amtrak long-haul and commuter passenger trains, as well as freight trains.
Hundreds of people have turned out to see maps of the proposed routes at a half-dozen state Department of Transportation open houses this month throughout the valley. Additionally, 424 people have attended a virtual open house on the department's website.
In Eugene-Springfield, "there's a very high interest in rail," said Eugene Mayor Kitty Piercy, co-chairwoman of the statewide leadership council.
Ridership on the Amtrak Cascades line has increased 22 percent since 2009 and by 238 percent since 1995, according to the state. The route provided 845,099 rides in 2012 to people who bought $30 million worth of tickets, according to Amtrak.
In the next 25 years, the Willamette Valley population is expected to grow by about 35 percent, reaching about 3.6 million by 2035, meaning increased congestion and increased demand for transportation in all forms.
Oregon would like to optimize its in-state tracks to approach 90 mph. The top speed today is 79, and the trains can only go that fast on a straightaway near Junction City. The trip between Eugene and Portland averages two hours and 35 minutes, according to the state. That's 40 minutes slower than driving.
Union Pacific, whose main job is moving freight, is upgrading its tracks to reach 79 mph, but it's not keen about higher speeds, Piercy said.
"Union Pacific has been pretty specific in saying to us that you can't go very fast along their line," Piercy said. "They're thinking no faster than 70-something."
For most passengers, speed isn't the top priority, Piercy added. "People care about frequency and reliability more than they care about speed. They'd like it to be a little faster; they'd like it to be competitive with cars. But reliability is so important."

The Walrus Says
WJan. 4 column about the state-wide achievements of the Salvation Army, we were unaware that two islanders represent the organization on Jamestown.
Maggie Grenier has been the island's Salvation Army secretary as well as the town's Welfare Director since 1985. Susan Brayman has been the local Salvation Army treasurer for longer than that.
Maggie sent the following letter to the column:
"It was a great Christmas this year for a couple of needy families in Jamestown. I would like to personally thank the Jamestown branch of Bank of America for sponsoring a Christmas holiday toy and gift drive and for setting up the bank location as a drop off for the donations of gift cards, toys and clothing that were on the lists for Santa. I'd also like to thank the generosity of all the Jamestowners who contributed, especially one individual who donated a large number of toys he had purchased at a store closing."
"Also a follow-up to the comments in 'The Walrus' a couple of weeks ago concerning the good deeds of the Salvation Army; Susan Brayman and I are the local officers in Jamestown, we have provided food assistance, heat and emergency funds for the special needs of individuals who have not been able to get any as- from the state. "
"This past Thanksgiving the RI Salvation Army and Star markets donated 15 food baskets for our community, They were picked up in Providence and distributed to Jamestown families by Susan and myself. Please remember how our less-fortunate local families are affected when you are asked to contribute to the Good-Neighbor Energy Fund or to the bell-ringing volunteers during the holidays."
Kudos to Maggie and Susan!
(Contributions can be sent to the Salvation Army, 756 Eddy St., Providence, 02903.)
Responses to last week's lyrics poser came in from Barbara-Ann MacIntosh who wrote:
"Shoo fly pie and apple pan dowdy, make your eyes light up and your tummy say howdy,
Shoo fly pie and apple pan dowdy, I never get enough of that wonderful stuff."
Charlie Masso e-mailed: "I haven't had 'Shoo Fly Pie' in a long, long time and when I did, I had to have some Apple Pan Dowdy with it."
Linda K. Hull of South Kingstown was also in with the correct title.
Linda also commented on an item in last week's column. "I was surprised to see Gloria (Dorr) Conley's name in your column. I remember her parents had a little convenience store where we'd stop for penny candy on our way home from the Carr School. Boy, that was a long time ago!"
Whoops! Gloria notified me that I had made a boo-boo in that item. "I said 'low taxes' not 'no taxes'. Don't we all wish we could say that.
"Another plus about living here is our water bill (are you sitting down?) runs between $10 and $14 a month, has never been higher than that."
Beverly Snyder and Larry Lewis were in with the answer to Wickford resident Skip Kingsley's question of who singer Diana Krall is married to. Her husband is Elvis Costello. Larry wrote that he is a British singer/ composer whose real name is Declan MacManus.
Larry also takes issue with Skip's saying that Frank Ifield was the writer of "I Remember You."
Larry says, "It was written by Johnny Mercer and Victor Schertzinger and was published in 1941. At least 50 artists have covered the tune, including Ifield, who'd scored a big hit with it in 1962."
Seventeen Boy Scouts from Troop 1 will depart the island at 5 a.m. Saturday for a day of skiing at Okemo Mountain in Ludlow, Vermont.
Jim Archibald, troop committee chairman and a member of the National Ski Patrol, will be offering the scouts the opportunity to complete the "on the hill" portion of the Winter Sports Merit Badge.
Scouts attending are John Chase, Drew Matley, Sal Morenzi, Grandson Tom, Kyle Wright, Dylan Walsh, Brian Volpe, Nathanel Hopkins, Eric Archibald, Daniel Bailey, Nick Fay, Shane Farrelly, Bud Oldewurtel, Hayden Maclean, Jamie Mielde, Sam Di- Gasper and Mike Brendlinger.
In addition to Archibald, scout leaders accompanying the troop members are Glen Hopkins, assistance sistant scoutmaster; John Keavy, assistant scoutmaster; and Diane Archibald and Phil Lee, troop committee members.
Bad breath can be the forerunner of more serious health problems with Rover says Dr. Joshua Hatch of the Jamestown Animal Clinic.
"As we strive to improve our pet's quality of life we are fortunate to have access to effective parasite control, reliable vaccines, and good pain medication and antibiotics if needed. Yet with all these advances we frequently forget about the importance of good oral health for our furry family members. We know that dental disease increases the risks of kidney, liver, and heart disease, and acts as a reservoir for bacteria in our bodies.
So whether it means learning to brush your pet's teeth, changing their food to a dental diet, or having a full dental procedure at your veterinarian's office, there is usually some aspect of oral health that you can improve in your pet's life. So, next time you are sitting with your pet, look at their teeth and gums, sniff their breath, and next time you are at your veterinarian's office see if they have any ways to improve one more area of your pet's life."
Stay away from the school!
The school nurse says in the Jamestown Warrior school paper that there are high fevers, bad colds, and bronchitis in the lower grades and sore throats, flu, nausea, vomiting, headaches, and bad colds in the upper grades.
*** .................how you can love
Congratulations to the Patriots on their record-breaking year.
*** Be true!

May 15, 2002
On the heels of his announcement to retire from his head coaching duties at Santa Clara, former players share their thoughts on what Mitch Murray has meant to the Bronco Soccer program.
Cameron Rast - Former player and current Associate Head Coach
"Mitch has essentially been here since the beginning of the program's rise to national prominence. He was instrumental in identifying and recruiting players as an assistant coach and eventually leading this program, starting in 1991, to where it stands today among the nation's elite. I don't think you can understate in any way what he has meant to the program. I think a lot of his records and a lot of his success speaks for itself. He is a tremendous coach from a player's standpoint, having played for him. He has a great mindset for the game and knowledge of how to lead teams to success. He has a great eye for talent in that he is always able to identify the underrated player and take good calculated risks in evaluating how they will be able to perform for the program. As a co-worker, he has been great. I have been working with Mitch for eight years and have had a couple of opportunities to move on to other programs, but it is because of Mitch that I have stayed. It is definitely an environment that I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy and will miss deeply."
Jeff Stewart - Former player now with the Colorado Rapids
"It's hard to believe that he is actually leaving. He has been there for so long and meant so much to the program that I know he will truly be missed. He was like a father away from home for the four years I was at Santa Clara. He's the reason I went there and he is the reason I am playing in the MLS today. He is a great coach and a great man."
Burke Ewers - A returning senior for the Broncos next season
"Coach has always been an awesome guy on and off the field. He's been an amazing coach, leading us to the College Cup twice, an appearance in the finals against Indiana, another NCAA Tournament berth last year and the WCC Championship. So he is an amazing coach but he is an even better mentor. He has always been someone I can go in and talk to and I get kind of choked up just thinking about him leaving now. It will be tough to replace him.
Keith Burden - Finished his career in a Bronco uniform in 2001
"He made Santa Clara soccer what it is. It is a special type of play and not too many clubs out there can say that they have a special type of play, and Mitch has provided that for this school. Individually, he has been a tremendous asset to my soccer career. Bringing me here to Santa Clara and giving me a chance to play. He not only taught me a lot of things about soccer, but about life in general as well."
Scott McLain - A returning senior for the Broncos next season
"Mitch has put so much effort into developing us as players and as a team. Everything you learned from the guy was beneficial to you as a player and as a person. We will definitely miss Coach both on and off the field. He has done so much for me personally in giving me a chance to play here and making me a better person that I will miss him greatly."

2012 was a great year for gaming, however for some studios, not so much. Over twenty gaming studios closed down last year leaving their mark on the industry forever. We'll remember the games they made, some good, some bad, and thank them for the innovation and inspiration they contributed in the gaming world.
this is really sad and I hate to see this happen to so many awesome developers. This is also going to shy people away from taking chances with games which is going to suck.
With the rise of development costs, expect more to go down under.
This is a bit of a poor article and doesn't actually mention any of the so called 'More Game Studios Going Under' or even any remotely in danger, or even any theory why. Just a round up of 2012's which has been covered in the past numerous times.

Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, calls it "the dark matter of the Internet world." It's spying, really, and it's creepy as all get-out.
Here's what happens: You're browsing a commercial site online and you click on a product—say a jacket. Maybe you buy it. Maybe you don't. But the next thing you know, that same jacket—and lots of other jackets like it-- follow you everywhere.
You see ads for them on news sites, on Facebook, perhaps even on a site devoted to fishing gear or some other completely different kind of product. You feel like someone is watching you, and in essence someone is. The jacket merchandiser probably belongs to an advertising network that places a "cookie" in your browser, allowing it track where you go online. The network can then use that information to generate personalized ads based on your browsing history.
A $17 million settlement announced today between Google and the attorneys general of 36 states, including Washington, and the District of Columbia doesn't stop that practice. But it does punish Google for deceiving its users about the practice, and it might make it easier for consumers to opt out of such tracking.
The settlement relates to how Google—which owns a huge ad network called DoubleClick—tracked users of Apple's Safari browser. Problem number one, says Washington assistant attorney general Paula Selis, is that Google informed consumers on its site that if they used Safari, so-called "third-party" advertising cookies would be blocked. In fact, such cookies were not blocked because of problem number two: Google used a code to circumvent Safari's default privacy settings.
"Google has said this wasn't intentional, and that when it found out, if fixed [the problems]. But the fact is it happened," Selis says.
Google has run into privacy problems before. In 2011, the company settled charges brought by the Federal Trade Commission dealing with the launch of Google Buzz, a social network that was a forerunner to Google Plus. According to the FTC, Google had told Gmail users that they could opt out of Buzz, but that wasn't so easy to do. Consequently, neither was limiting the sharing of personal information.
"This is a tough settlement that ensures that Google will honor its commitments to consumers and build strong privacy protections into all of its operations," FTC chair Jon Leibowitz said at the time.
Yet Google still did its privacy runaround with Safari. As a consequence it raised the ire of the FTC as well as state attorneys general. In 2012, the commission fined Google $22.5 million for violating its prior order, the largest such penalty ever. The $17 million settlement announced today comes on top of that fine.
Rotenberg, of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, which filed a complaint about Google Buzz that led to the original FTC action, says he believes that Internet tracking is an ongoing problem despite the penalties Google is facing over its Safari cookies. Most other browsers routinely use ad cookies, and unless deception is involved, there's little attorneys general can do about that.
Selis, however, says that the latest Google settlement at least requires the company to become more transparent about how it uses cookies. Within 90 days, the company has to create a page on its site explaining what cookies are and how consumers can have more control over them. "It should be readily findable," Selis says of that page. "That was really important to us."
Facing a backlash over cookies, Google and Microsoft's Bing are supposed to be working on proprietary trackers that may provide more privacy. But since a goal is also to help advertisers have even further reach, on devices like cell phones, it's doubtful that online spying is going away any time soon.

In some parts of the world, cats and dogs are raised and brutally skinned for their beautiful fur. The Canadian Government is afraid that a ban on these furs would endanger international sales of Canadian products made of baby seal skins. So it allows imported clothing made of dog and cat fur, and does not even require the fur to be labeled.
Nobody wants fashion at the price of pets' lives. Tell Canada's Prime Minister and Agriculture Minister to ban imported dog and cat furs. Sign & tell a friend today!
To the Prime Minister and Agriculture Minister of Canada:
You should be ashamed of Canada's lax standards for imported products! Please listen to both Canadian and worldwide opinion and ban the importation and sale of products containing dog and cat fur, similar to the actions already taken by the European Union and the United States.
Selling garments made from the skins of dogs and cats goes against the wishes of almost all Canadian citizens, yet in an internal memo your government opposed the ban because it weakens Canadian efforts to promote the sale of seal skins to other countries. Because Canadian law does not require the content of fur garments to be disclosed on the label, Canadian consumers have no way of knowing when they are purchasing products made from the skins of cats and dogs.
Allowing Canadian consumers to unknowingly purchase imported products made from cat and dog fur in defense of the sealing industry is unconscionable and horrifying.
Please immediately reverse Canadian government policy and ban the importation and sale of all garments made with dog and cat fur.

St. Baldrick's Fundraiser at Greenwich High School
Greenwich High School's second annual St. Baldrick's fundraising event, which took place on St. Patrick's Day, was a success. Participants had their heads shaved (or locks cut) to raise awareness and money for the St. Baldrick's Foundation, an organization that raises funds for childhood cancer research. At midday, students had raised more than $30,000, eclipsing 2013's total of $25,000. See photos of the fun below.

Simplifying Logarithms
Lesson 7 of 15
Objective: Students will be able to define and simplify logarithms.
Warm Up and Homework Review
I include Warm ups with a Rubric as part of my daily routine. My goal is to allow students to work on Math Practice 3 each day. Grouping students into homogeneous pairs provides an opportunity for appropriately differentiated math conversations. The Video Narrative explains this lesson's Warm up-Simplifying Logarithms which asks students to compare two exponential equations.
I also use this time to correct and record the previous day's Homework.
Resources (7)
The History of Logarithms
This lesson begins with a history lesson through a short YouTube video.
Logarithms are more meaningful when they are viewed in their proper place in history. There are links to both the video and some addition historical information in the PowerPoint and at the end of this lesson plan.
Resources (1)
Introduction to Logarithms
The next step is to create a sense of how logarithms are constructed (Math Practice 2). I have found it is extremely important to focus on the fact that the answer to a logarithm is the exponent. This takes them from being a mysterious unknown into something the students can feel comfortable with.
Detailed presentation notes are included in the PowerPoint.
Resources (1)
Guided Practice
The remainder of the lesson consists of Guided Practice. We now practice converting logarithms to exponents and vice versa. The final part of this lesson has students simplifying basic logarithms without a calculator. Some of these may be tricky to the students. I remind them that they can transform them from exponential to logarithmic form and vice versa.
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
The Homework reinforces the skills from the lessons, extends into slightly harder problems, and then does a single problem preview of the next day's lesson.
Resources (2)
Exit Ticket
I use an exit ticket each day as a quick formative assessment to judge the success of the lesson.
This Exit Ticket is checking that students know what a logarithm is asking as well as how to simplify it.

The pre-fight begins at 3pm PT/6pm ET and will be streamed LIVE for FREE courtesy of HeavyMMA right here. Then the PPV event begins at 6pm PT/9pm ET on the official UFC channel. In other words, we've pretty much got your Saturday night on lock down. See you there!

So Amazon Cloud Drive has arrived to a sudden but very interesting fanfare. The only trouble, of course, is that it's just our lucky American readers who get to try it out for the foreseeable future. But folks in Europe and the rest of the world need not turn green with envy. There are other ways to store your assortment of music, videos, images and whatever else you care keep up there on the Internet and all for free as well.
While not all offer quite the same as a cloud-based music player and a whole 25GB to play with, there are one or two that, in fact, give you even more storage to play with. So, from the smallest to the biggest, here are a few other online storage solutions for those waiting for the Amazon Cloud Drive to come knocking at their postcode.
Google Docs - 1GB
Anyone who signs up for a Gmail address is entitled to start using Google Docs where, as well as create spreadsheets, presentations and documents, you can also upload images and videos as well. You get a total of 1GB of space for all non-Google Docs created or converted files. So, in other words, you can have up to the maximum of multimedia and still sit and keep all the work files you need after that.
It's not a huge amount of space given that a feature length HD movie is probably going to break the bank but it's not a bad start for something you've probably already signed up for anyway. You can always add on another gigabyte of space for an extra $0.25/year. It's not a lot but it can add up if you start relying on it. If you really want to get inventive, though, then it's also worth pointing out that your Gmail account comes with up to 8GB of mail storage as well. What you can do is attach your files to draft e-mails which you never send. Name them after the file and then you have a way of searching them too. It's not ideal but it works.
MozyHome - 2GB
A more dedicated and initially more generous online storage option is the long time and trusted service that is MozyHome. Sign up for a free account and you get 2GB, decent encryption and even some desktop back-up software to download as well.
Naturally, you won't be able to perform a full copy of your computer's data with just 2GB of space but, again, you're welcome to sign up to £4.99/month for more space. Oddly, the company website doesn't actually tell you how much more space paying customers are entitled to, so perhaps not the best choice if you intend to part with your cash for the privilege.
Dropbox - 2GB
We can't speak highly enough of Dropbox here at Pocket-lint. Granted, 2GB of storage isn't a lot in the world of cloud file keeping but it's the bells and whistles that make this service such a pleasure to use. For the fully skinny (the fatty?) take a look at our review of the service or just the quick guide but, in a nutshell, it's online storage that you can access from a folder on your computer desktop as well as going to the Dropbox website itself.
Best of all, you can share your folder, or sub-folders within it, with friends such that you can drop a movie or song or what-have-you in yours and it'll pop up on their desktop as well. You can pay for more space, as it the wont of these sites, or you can even extend what you've got by recommending the service to friends. Essentially, if you're not using Dropbox already, then it's time to start.
Box.net - 5GB
Box.net has been around for a while now and, like Dropbox, it's the sharing and synching side where it specialises. While you're limited to maximum file sizes of 25MB for free accounts - not much good if you're looking for somewhere to keep your videos - there is a fairly generous starter package of 5GB of storage to play with.
One of the key aspects on which Box.net sells itself is their mobile solution. The service has apps for iPhone, iPad and Android so that you can keep up to date with all the files you need on the move as well as the ones sitting on your computers at home and at work. Perhaps not the best choice for the casual user with that 25MB file limit but certainly nothing to be sniffed at.
4Shared - 10GB
It's not the best looking of the lot but 4Shared has the healthiest free storage offering on the list so far at a whopping 10GB. What's more, the single file limit is all the way up to 2GB which is going to cover 95 per cent of what you'll want to upload. Like the Amazon Cloud service, you can stream music and videos directly from the 4Shared online player which you can access via your desktop, a toolbar and on Symbian, BlackBerry and Android in the mobile world.
Just a shame it's missing that all important iOS support as well. The one thing you really want to keep your eye on, though, and a reason why we hesitate to recommend it is that you have to log in once every 30 days otherwise 4Shared will consider your account idle and delete it along with all those precious bits and pieces you've uploaded.
Windows Live SkyDrive - 25GB
While Microsoft is happy to dish out bags of free space to anyone with Windows Live account credentials, the 50MB maximum file size means that it's not going to be a TV & film repository for you. All the same, there's some typically good photo album and Office document integration as well as the ability to create lists, spreadsheets and presentations up in the cloud too.
You can share just about anything you own with just about anyone on just about any social network and platform you care to think of. What's more, with the Big M's far reaching virtual tentacles, SkyDrive will tie in nicely with your computer OS, your mobile phone and even your games console as well - provided they're all Microsoft, that is.
ADrive - 50GB
The black background and general 90s look of the ADrive website doesn't exactly fill you with confidence and nor does the fact that the basic package storage doesn't offer any SSL encryption either. What makes it well worth considering as an online file locker is the seriously impressive 50GB that you get to play with as well as the 2GB file maximum to ensure that even the longest of HD films will have a home up there in the cloud.
There's no file expiration issues such as those with 4Shared and, being browser based, it's platform agnostic as well. The downside, of course, is that there's no direct application access of any kind but that's not such an issue when you've got an internet connection. As a rule, it might not be the place to keep your personals but it's an excellent vault of for music and films.
Megaupload - 200GB
The whopping loft where you can chuck the contents of your computer and then some called Megaupload looks too good to be true and in some ways it is. At its core, it's really a way of file sharing and the Hong Kong based company doesn't seem to care to much what you put in and what comes out the other end so long as they don't know about it.
You can upload up to 2GB files and download only up to 1GB which is a bit of a catch. Once you've successfully added to your vault you get issued a URL which you can send over for friends to download and, mercifully, there's also plenty of desktop applications to manage what you've got in there as well. Possibly worst of all though is that your files expire after 90 days automatically.
Which is the best?
Probably the best solution is to use a few of these services in combination. To keep things clear, you might want to have all your images in SkyDrive with its nice gallery viewer, album sorting and generous amount of storage and then perhaps go with something like ADrive for your music, TV and films. We'd also highly recommend Dropbox for functionality and sharing with Google Documents is just too easy a trick to miss. When it comes down to it, it's probably even worth having a Megaupload account but just make sure it's only for big files that you intend to get round to viewing once and then deleting within a short space of time.
Most of all though, do remember that if you keep all your files only up in the cloud then, unless you start duplicating, you won't actually have anything backed up at all. There's nothing like the comfort of a big old HDD.
Which online storage services do you use? Let us know in the comments below.
